Day 10: Make Her Laugh, Make Her Breakfast – Why Laughter Is The Best Aphrodisiac

Written by Sean Platt - 13 Comments
Categories: 90 days

Forget the roses and moonlight serenades, the secret to winning a place in a woman’s (or man’s) heart is a great big belly laugh.

Laughter not only makes us feel good, it also imbues confidence and can be the cement that seals the relationship.

Laughter builds trust

Laughing out loud releases endorphins and oxytocin, naturally occurring chemicals that help to relieve stress and increase feelings of well being and belonging. Oxytocin facilitates a greater sense of trust, which is important when establishing new relationships. Read the Rest of This Article »

Day 13: Stop Making These Common Mistakes – This Is How You Can Be Truly Happy

Written by Sean Platt - 15 Comments

Would you be happy if you won the lottery?

How about if George Clooney or Monica Belluci asked you to spend the night?

What if you were taller, thinner, faster, smarter or simply better at every thing you did?

Truth is, many people wait for happiness to happen to them, and end up squandering all the millions of seconds they could be using to make themselves truly happy, inside and out.

Most people don’t believe that we have the power to actively change their state from miserable and morose to happy and satisfied. And the kicker is, it doesn’t too much effort to change states naturally.

Day 14: Trouble Saying NO? Do This To Find Your Voice!

You know the feeling all too well…

That sinking sinking sensation that starts to swallow you whole, the second after you’ve agreed to do something you really didn’t want to do.

You know you need to leave the yes-habit behind forever, but do you have the confidence to say NO?

For hundreds of thousands of years, humans have relied on cooperation and trading favors to keep themselves sheltered and fed. Our ancestors saw that those who weren’t willing to lend a hand found themselves without friends to help them out, sometimes to the detriment of their survival. Read the Rest of This Article »

Day 20: Do This And People Will LOVE You – Even If They’re Suspicious

Written by Sean Platt - 12 Comments
Categories: 90 days

One of the fondest memories I have of an old friend of mine is how she would bring me the funniest little things just because they reminded him of me. Nothing huge or expensive, just a little something to brighten my day like a funny postcard she found at a flea market or some homemade cookies.

She did this for everyone and we all loved her to pieces, not because of the value of the stuff she gave, but because it showed she thought of us, knew our personalities well, and wanted to brighten our days. Read the Rest of This Article »

Asking for help can be hard, especially if you’re used to doing things on your own. But inevitably life’s gonna hand you a situation that leaves you asking for help. We need others to live a rich, full life- and that includes asking others for help from time to time. If you want to build a better you, then the best thing to do is get a few others in on the job.

Why Asking For Help Is The SMART Thing To Do

Humans are relational beings, hard-wired for community and better together. Solitary confinement is the roughest sentence an inmate can get, yet many free, law-abiding citizens sentence themselves to solitary confinement daily by choosing isolation over living in community with others.
